Cops arrest Highland Park 'shooter' Robert Crimo, 22, who killed six and posted YouTube clips before July 4 massacre of him dropping bullets and drawings of him with rifle: 'My actions will be valiant, I know what I have to do, it is my destiny'

A 22 year-old rapper has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing six people at a July 4 parade in an affluent Chicago suburb.

Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III was intercepted by cops in North Lake Forest, Chicago, after 7pm local time Monday evening when cops saw the silver Honda Fit he was last seen driving.

Dramatic photographs from the scene show the suspected mass-murderer - who posted creepy clips about shooting massacres online - being pinned to the ground face-down by police.

Cops say Crimo opened fire from a rooftop, into a crowd who at first confused the sound of gunshots with Independence Day fireworks.

A total of 26 victims aged between eight and 85 were injured, with six still receiving hospital treatment. The area has a large Jewish community, although police have yet to share a possible motive for Monday's slaughter.

Crimo is from of the Highland Park area and posted rap videos online using the name Awake. In one song, the suspect wrote: 'My actions will be valiant and my thought is unnecessary, I know what I have to do, I know what's in it, not only for me, but for everyone else.'

The doom-laden words were set to drawings of a figure who looked like Crimo pointing a rifle while a person lies prone on the ground, and another holds their hands up in the air.

At one point, a grab of a newspaper clipping about JFK's murderer Lee Harvey Oswald is visible.

An IMDb page about the suspect describes him as a 'rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and director from Chicago.'

The most viewed video on the rapper's YouTube channel is the music video for his song: 'On My Mind.' The video, showing a the suspect in a classroom.

The press is trying to make him ultra maga. They have a heavy slog.
1. Rose and fist tattoo- international symbol of socialism.
2. Long history of socialist posting.
3. Body modification- more a lib thing than a conservative one.
4.”47” tattoo- reference to the video game “hitman”. Agent 47 is the protagonist/ main character in that game.
5. Photos of him giving right fist salute-socialist/ fascist meaning usually.
6. “Awake the rapper”. Seriously?

This is true.

Plus aspiring rappers don’t seem to have a long lifespan so the overturn is stupendous.

I saw one report linking him to an overseas “extreme right wing group”.
Whatever that is.🙄

Did big tech notify the police to prevent this slaughter?

You can’t tell me they can’t work that fast. I know due to music copyright issues with our online church that they will take down and put back up in seconds, anything they deem violating copyright laws.

If they can monitor a church and act so quickly then, they can catch these shooters with their algorithms in just as little time.

Form patriots.win. Comment there:

The shooter today wrote a song about ISIS the terror group. A redditor asked about.. 8 MONTHS AGO! and you can find a 1 minute clip of it online and on their post. Various kinks confirm it does exist and was hosted on music sites

He had a song called “Counter-terrorist,” and another called “K.I.A.” Sang some songs with an assortment of other hip hop rap types.

This colossal asshat came from money. His father, apparently, ran for mayor of Highland Park at one point.

Though from Zero Hedge, several people downloaded his YouTube channel (he’s some kind of low-grade rapper, ripping off video game developers by using their music without permission) and shared it on Twatter here: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/multiple-people-shot-during-4th-july-celebration-chicago-suburb

Highland Park is a half-hour or so away from me. I’d say it’s a nice place, but it breeds idiots like this tha ks to being so deeply blue.

I have maintained for years that a neck tat is a pre-indicator of a flawed mental process.

My Father in law, he was a marine as the Korean war came to a close. One of his fellow marines got a tattoo of a dashed line across his neck, with the words “cut here”.

When he told me this he started to laugh, 40 years later it still cracked him up.

I noticed that too, but too quiet for a 22 I think. 9mm carbine of some type? Not sure.

9mm? He must have been inspired by our resident

A 22yr old with $100,000? Maybe it IS his. Earned it rapping, possibly, but this is another punk kid with no real future seeking fame for himself by destroying peoples’ lives. There’s been an awful lot of that lately.
Where’s Mom and Dad? What’s the story behind that?
Or maybe he WAS paid to do this, promised that he would get away with it.
I don’t know.

The best reason to ban assault weapons is because you are the type of being who in a just world would be shot at for being anti social..

I watched that and I enjoyed it. Do you know what that bug wall structure in front of the Capitol Building is? It hides the whole front of the building.
